TE AWAMUTU — Concerns about water colour and substandard conditions raised by rioting prisoners who destroyed the top jail at Waikeria Prison were flagged in an Ombudsman’s report last year. On Sunday, the 16 prisoners who ran rampant on the jail’s roof for nearly a week surrendered. The drama started when prisoners lit several fires in the exercise yard, ultimately forcing the evacuation of the top jail. During the six-day stand-off, the rioters continued to light fires and threw debris at staff. Advocates repeated throughout the saga that the men were protesting against poor, unhygienic and dehumanising conditions. Corrections Minister Kelvin Davis denied that prison conditions were the reason for the unrest. The prison — now ravaged by the riot STATE OF DESPAIR: The aftermath of the damage to Waikeria Prison, after the six-day riot and standoff at the prison. fires — opened in 1911 near Te Awamutu NZ Herald picture in the central North Island.
